method, in orderStep by step
- Kill a wild Elderclaw and take the seed from its inventory.
- Plant the seed in a
Large Crop Plot and keep it watered and fertilised like any crop. - It periodically asks for one of six things:
Ammonite Bile, 
Bio Toxin, 
Black Pearl, 
Giant Bee Honey, 
Leech Blood or 
Sap. - You have five minutes to deliver each request. Miss one and effectiveness drops; meet it and the seed puts on a spurt of growth.
- When it matures into a fruitling, interact with the egg inside to hatch a baby — bonus levels scale with how well you tended it.
- Raise it like any other baby.
Also true
- The seed does not grow at all while a request is outstanding, so an untended plot is not slow progress — it is no progress.

traps, methods & egg runsAdult Elderclaws cannot be tamed, but there are two methods to acquire one. The simple method is to claim a wild baby Elderclaw after killing its parent and raising it like any other baby, though without a well-leveled 
Gigantoraptor to imprint it, you will miss out on a lot of potential levels. The main method is to kill an Elderclaw, which will then have a seed in its inventory akin to tribute items that can be placed in a Large Crop Plot. Once planted, watered, and fertilized, it will start to grow like other items that can be planted. However, the seed will need to be "tended to" as it will request 1 of 6 different resources, which are as follows:
You will have 5 minutes to provide the requested resource. Failure to do so will decrease taming effectiveness the longer you go without providing the resource. Once satisfied, the seed will request care again after some time. As the seed matures, this interval increases. The seed does not grow during the 5 minute timer, but meeting the seed's request gives it a spurt of growth; a wild seed whose needs are met promptly grows faster than a tamed or neglected seed.
Once the seed fully matures to a fruitling, you can interact with the egg within the plant, which "hatches" a baby Elderclaw that will have the same base level as the Elderclaw parent, plus bonus levels from taming effectiveness based on how well you tended to its growth. From there, it's just a matter of raising it like any other baby.
Elderclaws are breedable, and while the seeds that tamed Elderclaws produce still need to be placed in a Large Crop Plot, they do not need to be specially tended to like seeds from wild Elderclaws. Simply tend to it like any other crop and ensure it's fertilized and watered.
